Falling tonight

Zhao Rou in his arms turned pale, "So, at that time, in order to catch the big boat of the Mu family, my father ruthlessly sent me, who was seriously injured, to go abroad for treatment. He said that the foreign medical team's technology was more mature and would be more conducive to curing me. The leg injury is actually to pave the way for Zhao Fangyi to gain favor with my sister in the Mu family and bring you two together!"

When talking about the latter part, Zhao Rou's tone even had a vibrato.

"But they pushed me to a country thousands of miles away, living alone, and ignored me, leaving me wandering for more than ten years!"

The more she spoke, the more her body trembled, not believing that the truth could be so cruel.

His father, how could he do this? !

Moreover, after she returned to China, Zhao Shijin actually lied to her again in order to get her engaged with Han Zihao, fabricating and distorting stories about the past, making her mistakenly believe that the boy she was looking for had passed away, so that she could safely accept his marriage arrangement with the Han family.

He clearly knew that he was guilty of that past incident, yet he lied to her again!

"Why? Zhao Fangyi is his daughter, am I not?" Tears fell quietly at some point. Through the mist, the scene in front of her became blurry. She could only hold Mu Zhou's arm tightly to find the truth in her heart. Support, "Why? Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything, I just asked him to save people, why are you doing this to me?"

Mu Zhou looked at the sad-looking person in his arms, and his heart ached because of her.

At this time, he felt deeply powerless.

This matter of her family has already caused harm to her, and he can't change the past facts.

At the moment, he could only hold her in his arms and coax her with all his patience, "Those things have passed. Now I am the one who owns everything."

"Cry loudly if you want to, don't hold back."

"I understand your grievances and your reluctance. I know them all."

"Lean on my shoulder and cry if you want."

His voice is low and hoarse, with a persuasive intention, which makes people want to release the overwhelming emotions in their hearts and vent their anger happily.

"Woo..."

The woman's crying gradually turned from a soft whimper to a loud one. Later, the whole room was filled with only crying, which was earth-shattering.

……

As the sun set, the white curtains were stained with a touch of golden color, blocking the gradually dimming light outside.

Muzhou sat on the edge of the bed, using his slender fingertips to brush away the soft hair sticking to the face of the sleeping woman on the bed, his movements filled with care and affection.

Zhao Rou was tired from crying, so she fell asleep directly. She didn't wake up from her nap until the sun was about to set in the afternoon.

He stayed by the bed and watched for a long time. The woman's bright facial features were quiet and beautiful because she was sleeping soundly, and there was a crystal teardrop hanging in the corner of her eye, which was extremely endearing.

Mu Zhou couldn't help but lean forward, pursed his lips and pressed the teardrops with careful movements.

Because of his actions, the sleeping man tilted his head and frowned slightly.

Sitting by the bed, Mu Zhou suddenly recalled the scene when he met her at the school gate that year.

That day, as usual, he was waiting at the door for the driver to pick him up and take him home.

He was a popular figure in the school, good-looking and from a good family background. As soon as he stood at the door, there were already girls peeking at him and whispering to him.

He had long been accustomed to it, but he was still not used to other people's burning eyes staring at him, so he picked up a mask and put it on his face, trying to reduce his sense of presence, ignoring other people's eyes, and continued to wait for the driver.

It was raining heavily, and students at the door were picked up and left one after another.

Half an hour has passed since school ended. At 6:30 in the evening, the sky has become dark and there are fewer and fewer students at the door.

He held a black umbrella, looked down at the expensive watch on his wrist, and frowned.

It never happened that the driver was late.

He continued to wait in the rain for ten minutes, and the few remaining students at the door also left.

Looking around, there was only one person standing on the eaves of the school gate to take shelter from the rain. Muzhou walked slowly over and found that it was a girl. She looked younger than him, so she should be a lower grade student.

She was wearing headphones and staring at the side of the road, as if she was waiting for a car to take her home.

Seeing him coming over, the little girl didn't stare at him blankly like other girls. She just glanced at him lightly, then moved a few steps to the side to distance herself from him.

He walked under the eaves, put away the black umbrella, and heard the girl murmur, "It must have been my sister again. She asked the driver to go home without waiting for me. I have to tell my father when I get home. It's not the first time." That’s it!”

The girl's voice was thin, with a hint of anger. He didn't hear what she said clearly, so he couldn't help but turn his head and look over, looking at the little girl without any trace.

Her face was round, with fair skin, and her fleshy face was filled with annoyance and anger.

Her eyes are long and narrow in shape, with the ends of her eyes curving up, like fox eyes.

This combination of facial features is a bit inconsistent, but it is not ugly. It is even cute and charming, like a lazy cat, with both temperaments.

Her figure under the school uniform was very thin and did not match her baby face.

This girl looked quite special, unlike other girls whose eyes widened when they saw him.

He couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Then, he noticed that after she said those words, she seemed to have made some determination. She put away her earphones, put them in her schoolbag, zipped up her zipper, bit her lower lip, and rushed towards the rainy road.

A gust of wind blew in front of him, and the girl's long hair scratched his arm, gently and itchingly.

In the heavy rain, the girl's thin back looks absolutely aloof and a bit desolate.

Mu Zhou was never someone willing to meddle in other people's business, but at that moment, for the first time, he had the urge to step forward and shield her from the rain.

And he did.

Even he didn't react. Long legs had caught up with the girl, and the black umbrella was held above the two of them. He heard himself ask, "Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

The girl who was rushing forward in the rain suddenly stopped and looked up at him, with inexplicable fear and shyness in her eyes. Her narrow eyes were wet from the rain, and her heartbeat quickened when she stared at someone.

Only then did the girl react, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him, with an uncomfortable expression on her face.

She whispered "Yeah" in response to him.

Mu Zhou looked at her and felt a little uncomfortable as if he had been scratched by a kitten.

He looked forward and said in a pubescent voice, "Where are you going? I have an umbrella and can take it to you."

The girl still didn't speak. She paused and pointed to the bus stop not far away, indicating that she wanted to take the bus home.

The two were walking slowly on the road in the rain.

Muzhou held an umbrella, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the girl looking up at him secretly from time to time, but fearing that he would find her, she hurriedly looked away.

Can't help but find it funny.

It was raining so heavily, and the girl ran away at will. She looked like a brave girl, but when she peeked at him, she looked like a little girl who couldn't help but be scared.

She looks and acts very contradictory.

Looking back now, every scene about her is so clear in my mind that it has never been erased.

Sorry for being late.
